That calculate one is a whole genre on to itself: TikToks where there's a goal the streamer is working towards to do something, but they do it so slowly that it never happens. People keep donating to see the thing happen, the streamer doesn't want the thing to happen because then the donations stop, so they only pretend like they're going to do the thing.
